Type of Dog Wanted
Ages interested in:	0 months – 1 year (we rarely get dogs in this age group), 1 year – 3 years	Gender preferred:	Either a Male or a Female	Color preferred:	Any color	Activity level:	Couch Potato, Outgoing, Playful
Other preferences:	We have two cats. Ideally, we'd find a pup who eventually is bonded to the cats. However, I realize this is perhaps unlikely and any dog who respects/leaves them alone would be great as well.

Questions Regarding Motivation for Adopting and Intentions
Who is this dog for?	Both of us.
Why do you want a Pembroke?	I adore the breed. Beyond their ridiculous levels of cuteness, I also think they have amazing personalities. I know that their breed history was about herding large animals and as a horse owner this would be ideal. I visit/work with my horse every day and would love to have a corgi co-pilot!
Activities planned with Pembroke:	Everything from Netflix chill sessions to daily barn visits to relaxing walks around the neighborhood.
Aware that Pembrokes are busy, noisy dogs?	Yes
Money for basic care?	Yes
Money for unforeseen medical expenses?	Yes
Willing to house train?	Yes Willing to do formal training? Yes
Do you have a veterinarian?	No
Vet contact info:
Will handle mistakes Pembroke makes like this:	I'd try to alter the behavior to something more desirable and reward that behavior instead.
Discipline:	I haven't had a dog since childhood, so I intend to enroll in obedience classes immediately in order to develop methods like this. I'd rather have a dog who understands certain commands so I won't have to discipline, rather I can ask for them to do something else so they stop doing what I don't like. For instance, if they're in the trash I'd rather say "Leave it" and have the dog respond to that than punish the dog for getting in the trash.
Where would Pembroke spend the majority of the time:	In the house or backyard (his/her preference). At the barn with me.

House dog or outside dog?	House dog
People at home during the day?	Yes, I will be a consultant working from home.
Where would dog eat?	TBD. Probably the kitchen.
Where would dog sleep:	In our bedroom, preferably not on the bed but I have a sense this won't last. 🙂
Play & exercise:	Yes. We have a large backyard for play, and I expect the daily barn trips to be adequate exercise. If they are not, we will do walks around the small local pond/lake.
How will you exercise your dog?	Both on leash and restrained to the yard
Fenced yard?	Yes, I have a fenced in yard.
Willing to pick up dog waste?	Yes, I will clean up after my dog.
Willing to use a crate?	Wood with narrow vertical slats. About 6' high at the back and ~4' high along sides between neighboring homes.
Living arrangements:	Own home
Landlord info:
May we contact your landlord?
Lease allow dogs:
Landlord permission:
Restrictive covenants?	Not applicable
Breed/size restrictions?	No
Description of yard:	Large grassy, fenced yard. Simple brick patio. Three large trees. It is also worth noting that I will not live in this home full time until Sept 5th.
Household members:

Willing to train children?	We do not currently have children, but should that time come- yes.
Any allergies?	No one is allergic.
Current pets:
Current pets dog friendly?	Yes, all of our current pets are friendly toward dogs.
Are you willing to work on it if your new dog doesn’t get along with your current pets right away?	Yes, absolutely. Both cats have been with us for life, and Henry is my soul-animal, so I will fully disclaim that if there are issues between them, the cats will come first. Of course, this will likely be determined early on and I will absolutely contact LSCR right away.
Lifetime commitment to Pembroke?	Yes, I am willing to commit to this dog for the rest of its life.
Return to Lakeshore if unable to care for Pembroke?	Yes, I will only surrender my adopted corgi to LPWCR if I am unable to care for it.

Carefully considered the pluses and minuses of adopting a pet?	Yes, I have carefully thought out my decision to adopt a Pembroke and am willing to deal with the consequences.
